TAKATA RECALL. I PURCHASE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C FROM UXURAY AUTO IN GEORGIA. NOT KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SAID VEHICLE. ON JUNE 6TH 2016 ON MY WAY TO BURY MY MOTHER IN SC. THE AIR BAGS EXPLODED IN THE CAR AS WAS APPROCHING A RED LIGHT IN BARNWELL SC. BLINDING ME, CAUSING ME TO SIDE SWIPE THE CAR STOP AT THE RED LIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO CHRYSLER . CHRYSLER AFTER INVESTIGATION AGREE TO REPAIR MY CAR WITH A FIFTY DOLLOR A DAY RENTAL. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL IN AUGUSTA GA, BY AMBLUNACE. A MR. AUBIN ATTORNY FROM CHRYSLER LATER STATES THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT BE REPAIR UNTIL THE BODILY INJURY CLAIM WAS SETTLED. THIS HAPPEN ON JUNE 7 2016, TO THIS DATE CHRYSLER HAVE NOT REPAIR OUR CAR. IN ORDER TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED I HAD TO SIGN A HARMLESS RELEASE FOR CHRYSLER. UNDER DURESS I SIGNED THE RELEASE. ONE WHOLE YEAR CHRYSLER HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS CAR . I REQUESTED THAT THEY BUY THE CAR BACK/ AND PAY ME FOR LOST OF USE OF OUR VEHCILE,. HE SAID IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED/ I MUST SIGN A RELEASE OF ALL HARMS. NO ATTORNEY WOULD TAKE THIS CASE, THEY SAY IT IS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH FOR THEM. 1 WHOLE YEAR AND CHRYSLER HAS OUR CAR, WE WERE FORCE INTO BUYING ANOTHER CAR YET STILL PAYING FOR THE CHRYSLER. IS THIS THE LAW? CAN CHRYSLER GET AWAY WITH THIS? FORCING US TO DO WHAT WE DON;T WANT TO DO? CHRYSLER HAS OFFERED ME 8.000 TO SIGN THE HARMLESS RELEASE AND THEN THEY WILL GIVE ME MY CAR BACK AFTER ONE YEAR OF SUFFERING, IS THIS RIGHT? HELP ME PLEASE, WE HAVE NO ONE ELSE TO TURN TO FOR HELP. NO ONE.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ENDS UP TURNING OFF AT ANY STOP, RED LIGHT, OR WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN. I ALWAYS END UP STOPPING TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF IT. THE VEHICLE ENDS UP TURNING BACK ON AFTER A FEW TIMES OF TRYING TO TURN IT ON. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE MAKE SCENES AT MY WINDOW DUE TO THIS. I HAVE READ ONLINE BLOGS OF CHRYSLER OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY GO TO THE DEALER AND REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I HAVE CALLED AUTO PARTS STORES AND THE FUEL TANK IS PRETTY PRICEY. THERE ARE MANY MORE COMPLAINTS ON 300CFORUMS.COM

THE CAR IT SHUT OFF AFTER EVERY GAS FILLING IMMEDIATELY AFTER GETTING INTO TRAFFIC ITS VERY SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A DEER AND THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED DESTROYED.

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 6.1L ENGINE STALLS RANDOMLY WHEN STOPPED, COMING TO A STOP OR CRUISING SPEED. SOMETIMES IT'LL TAKE MONTHS FOR REOCCURRENCE THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT HAPPENS WHILE, ENGINE STALLED. HAPPENS WHILE MAKE A TURN AT A LIGHT ALSO. STARTS BACK UP AND SOMETIMES STALLS INSTANTLY. AFTER LIKE THE THIRD STALL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ONLY FAULT CODE IS P0700. BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2015 AND LESS THAN TWO MONTHS LATER IS WHEN I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST OCCURRENCE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES THAT YEAR AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. ABOUT FIVE MONTHS LATER (2016) IT HAPPENS AGAIN, ENGINE STALLS OUT OF NOWHERE ON THE FREEWAY. THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T START SO I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER TWO MONTHS OF THEM HAVING MY CAR THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SO I AGREED TO REPLACE IT. TWO MONTHS LATER SAME THING AGAIN SO OBVIOUSLY THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WASN'T THE PROBLEM. MIGHT I ADD THAT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A HARD "BUCK" FROM THE TRANSMISSION, LIKE IT WANTS TO LOCK UP. I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND CHRYSLER CLAIMS TO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM TERRIFIED EVERY TIME I'M IN THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I'M STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR BUT NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND HOW TO SOLVE IT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALLS OR UPDATES AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR.

INITIALLY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUT OFF AND RESTART AT VARIOUS SPEEDS RANGING FROM 45-65 MPH, MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PROBLEM SURFACED WAS APPROX .138,000. IN 2016 AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE PCM ,FUEL TANK, ALTERNATOR, SOLENOID, BATTERY, AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR THE PROBLEM SPORADICALLY REOCCURRED EVERY 300 MILES, AND FAILURE HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND NOW OCCURS REGULARLY BUT SPORADICALLY AT LOW SPEEDS OF 1-20 CAUSING A FULL STALL WITH NO RESTART. THE FAILURE IS TYPICALLY AT A LIGHT AND WHEN TEMPTING AA TURN. IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED DURING THE HIGH SPEED INCIDENTS,ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE IN FAILURE- DASH LIGHTS GO OFF, THE ANALOG RPM AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES SPONTANEOUSLY DROP TO ZERO, AND THEN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM RESTARTS AND GAUGES RESUME NORMAL READINGS, ALL OCCURRING WITHIN A FEW SECONDS AT MOST. ADDITIONALLY THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER SITTING FOR 3 HOURS, THE ELECTRICAL WORKS BUT ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. AFTER EACH INCIDENT CAR WAS TAKEN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC READING AND EITHER NO FAULT CODE WAS REGISTERED, OR AN ENGINE COMMUNICATION FAILURE CODE OCCURS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS.
